Karen Walrond from Chookooloonks, and a collector of my work, recommended my work again, this time in her Bliss Your Heart blog series. What a sweet birthday gift that was!

My custom Moroccan doorway papercuts were featured in the Munaluchi Bridal, a wedding magazine for women of color (later also linked in The Huffington Post Weddings ). You can also see them in the printed Fall/Winter 2011 Edition of Munaluchi Bridal.

I’m so honored to be featured on Stasia Burrington’s blog today & very grateful for her many kind words… As visitors of this blog know, I’m quite enamored with her work, so this special post means a lot to me!

Blank Space is a talented dynamic Seattle-based visual design duo I occasionally have the pleasure to work with during my day time endeavors. Thanks to the giveaway via “I heart Handmade” Mindi, Blank Space’s co-founder, learned about PaperCutWorks and covered my xacto knife craft on their blog.

Indie Icing is sharing the love today! I’m pretty sure their “absolutely adorable” compliment refers to PaperCutWorks 🙂 Click here to check it out for yourself.

(Excerpt) Here’s a papercut that doesn’t hurt: Each of these intricate hand-cut hearts is made from old dictionary pages, outdated maps or vintage sheet music. Ania — the gal behind the hearts — then mounts them on wood blocks or pap er cards. The end result are these expressive anatomical paper hearts. What better way to say, “I love you” or “I left my heart in Seattle” (or San Francisco, Portland…)?

&amp; in what great company! Visit Statsy to view each of the above featured handmade items. This prominent feature resulted in PaperCutWorks on etsy scoring 35 new shop “hearts” ({I Heart Seattle} received 55 new “hearts”). “Hearts” is Etsy’s internal system of bookmarking members’ favorite shop.
